Pretending to Be Me is an intimate, acerbic, and occasionally scurrilous show about the poet, jazz aficionado, and Hull University librarian Philip Larkin. Larkin has moved home; surrounded by packing cases, playing selections from his favourite jazz LPs, and making himself cups of tea, and later whiskies, he reflects wryly on writing and life. Hilarious and moving, the narrative shifts seamlessly between Larkin's outrageous wit and the poems, which Courtenay reads with powerful directness and simplicity. Philip Larkin, one of the foremost figures in 20th-Century English poetry, feared his epitaph would be: "They fuck you up, your mum and dad". This, and other familiar poems, "An Arundel Tomb", "The Whitsun Weddings" and "High Windows" are included in Pretending to Be Me.©2003 Tom Courtenay; (P)2005 Time Warner AudioBooks Entertainment & Celebrity
